Note di degustazione
The 2.76-hectare Clos des Cortons has been a monopole of the Faiveley family since 1874, and is rightfully the jewel in their crown. The wine is impressive with its sweet intensity on the nose, but it’s the interplay of its richness and power with a soft minerality that resonates. With velvet tannins, it’s spicy and firm yet also billows across the palate with its lithe layers of dark, brooding bramble fruit. One of the less approachable 2023s now, it is nevertheless full of promise.

Enough wood to merit mentioning is present on the nose of spicy and ripe red and dark currant along with suggestions of earth and the sauvage. I very much like the mouthfeel of the solidly voluminous flavors that also exude a borderline palpable minerality on the compact, backward and built-to-age finale. This will need to add depth with time in bottle so at least some keeping is advised.
The 2023 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is excellent, offering up aromas of dark berries, orange zest, spices and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tautly fleshy palate that's lively and mineral, with refined structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows.
